Can anyone confirm the compatibility of the Exynos variant with T-mobile? Frequency check websites show 100% compatibility but looking for personal experience feedback. Also curious if B66 works as intended in the US.

Its good. I use the S7 Exynos on T-Mobile. Its perfectly fine but with no wifi calling and a bit worse service.

Service is already hit or miss where I live now. Can you elaborate on how the service is worse? Band support or signal strength?

I just noticed that the service is like just a little worse, you most likely wont notice a difference.
Anyone play around with the idea of loading the T-mobile S8 firmware onto the Exynos international version of the phone to see if that would be enough to get Wifi calling working? Wifi calling is essential to me since I work in a building with great wifi but no service.

You cannot install Snapdragon firmware on an Exynos based phone. This will lead to a brick. The only thing from a Snapdragon firmware you can install I believe is CSC but don't quote me on that.

I was also wondering if flashing the tmobile CSC to the 955F would enable wifi calling. The only LTE band that the Exynos variant doesn't have that T-mobile uses is 66 and from what I've been able to research that's not sued int he NYC area. But wifi calling is critical. I use it a lot to call back home when I travel abroad.

That is incorrect. The 950F does support band 66. I took this from service mode on my 950F

I can't imagine 955F would be different from 950F
I received my phone yesterday. After a couple sites reporting it did support band 66, I dove in and was not disappointed.

Thanks but there's something weird about your screenshot. Band 32 is out of order and is not used on any Samsung phone. I think that should be 42. I find it hard to believe that there is a typo in the service menu.
I was using frequencycheck.com and willmydevicework.com as my sources. I agree that on this point I'm positive that the 950 and 955 should be the same.

Yeah it's strange and I do think it's a typo. But that's what service mode shows, regardless of which SIM I select.
With the exynos you'll also lose VoLTE. Meaning in areas where T-Mobile is using B12 LTE to extend the range of its network (B12 LTE 700mhz goes further than their EDGE and HSPA network (1700,1900,2100mhz) so if you're in an area and only have B12 LTE signal you won't be able to make or receive calls or texts. And in an emergency scenario if there was no other network for your phone to roam to, you also wouldn't be able to dial 911. Kinda an important feature imo.
I use the 930F on t-mobile and will likely do the same with the s8. If you care about rooting, you should get a 950f. It can be rooted easily and with root, you can get TKKG1994's CSC selection tool and use it to enable VOLTE/Wifi calling). If you aren't going to root, then the carrier phone is good.
I don't know how gigabit LTE is affected but I doubt in 2017 this is a game changer.

If you refer to my post, my point was only that there's a little app that shows the Android service menu. The band is indicated (mine says HSPA - my contract doesn't allow LTE, so I can't say anything about that).

that app your referring to is the same menu as going into *#*#4636#*#*
also, HSPA, LTE, GSM, etc is not the band type, its a network type.. by Band type I mean LTE: Bands: 1/3/4/7/17/38/40, which is also another way to describe radio frequency
as you can see in the first pic of my first post, in the Samsung device, it shows Band 4

That's all fine and dandy, but it's not like your carrier is operating multiple frequencies that you're likely to see ever. Maybe if you live in an incredibly dense population center, but even then... Perhaps I'm missing something.

Fair enough, if you have LTE already, and they are simply deploying a new frequency, you likely won't notice any change, to any of the service. Speeds don't increase between bands, the only reason a carrier deploys a new band, is to fight radio interference from other carriers. Given the cost of a single radio, carriers generally only deploy these new radios in VERY congested areas. Meaning, that in a city that has, say 15 towers, 2-3 of them would actually get the upgrade, in the area that suffers from the most interference. (You have to bear in mind, that a full tower build, requires 6 radios, each radio costing about $18,000 for the radio, another $1000 for the antenna, another $500-1500 for the power supply and cabling. They don't just "upgrade" an entire area, it takes too long to recoup costs)

Ah my mistake, i had in my head he meant to check for bands in the area which he can use with the 'unlocked' frequency mod..for some reason. My total mistake!
However what i meant with what i said when i get my 4g is that i can confirm that the unlock mod will enable band 20 since our OPO is restricted/doesnt support it by default. The band app would be good though!
Hello there!
Long time lurker of XDA here - I'd love to enlist the expertise of all you guys here
Was terribly impressed when you guys figured out how to unlock bands and thought you guys might be able to help me (or rather everyone in my country using the A3010) out!
So in Singapore, our carriers use bands 3/7/8 (1800/2600/900 mhz). Unfortunately for us, Oneplus does not ship directly to Singapore so we often have to rely on third party parallel importers, and most of their stock is the A3010 one.
So the bands supported by the A3003 and A3010 models are below.

}
As we found on our local forums, the A3003 is somehow able to get carrier aggregation but not the A3010 and we're all quite puzzled as to why.
One of the theories is that the CA bands (which are not listed on the Oneplus website) are different between the two models.
Perhaps someone here might be able to help?
all singapore bands are supported by China Model,
you need to know what bands exactly are used by your carrier for CA,
and by saying CA is not working, what kind of method did u use to check it ? since not every ROM can show the difference between using CA or not,
yes, 4G+ is a clear indication that your phone use CA, but again, that's not always a case on every ROM
i would suggest u to run network signal guru while doing speedtest, and see whether your phone utilize the CA or not
in a normal situation, the phone usually wont use CA. It will only use it once there's significant data traffic,
example, the phone might not use CA just for pulling GCM push, but will use it on streaming session,
at least thats what happen in most of phones i used,
my A3000 can use CA with no problem, so does the Mi5, S7 edge, and even the economic Redmi Note 3 can do CA
also, each carrier might use different config for CA,
example, my carrier only use CA on band 40, and wont do so on band 5,
you can see my screenshots bellow, my area do not have strong band 40 signal, thus the phone wont be able to use CA, since it only connected to band 5,
but by locking my band to 40 ONLY, and forcing the phone to use it, the CA is easily triggered

Thanks for your input! As what I understand, everyone who commented were using OOS 3.5.4/3.5.3 so with regards to the ROM I think that was standardized..
For the benefit of everyone going to do the testing, which segment of network signal guru demonstrates the use of CA? The terminology on the app is slightly complex too

Root the phone, Download Network Signal Guru, Open it, look at the top right, there's three dots menu button, tap it, and choose band locking,
disable all unnecessary or unwanted bands
Hope someone with the right knowledge can come around to advise how to make A3010 get 4G+....
Is your problem solved? I'm also having problem with mi5. No CA on band 3+7. Unfortunately Malaysian telco also using band 3 and 7 for CA.
Same problem here on A3010 Maxis Malaysia where it needs B3+B7 to do CA.
A fellow friend has opened a thread, OnePlus bughunters requested for logs but keep on saying issue was not seen through the logs.
https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/4g-missing-in-a3010.495892/
Would be great if anyone can advise how to do CA on B3 + B7 in a way of unlocking if it is possible just like how unlocking other bands was performed

Hi guys,
I'm new here and want to get yalls opinion and expertise if the unlocked US version Note 9 will work fully on tmobile network? I got it from b&h photo as it has a lot of freebies (Dex and the new dual charger) plus there's no tax.
No. 1 priority for me is if tmobile band 71 will work on this us version note 9.
Thank you in advance for all your comments and suggestions.
Great question. As far as I can tell, it has Band 71 (600mhz)...
I think TM uses some of the lowest frequencies over other carriers, like their cement drilling band 71....aweosme.
See pic attached.

It should work with all bands. Just don't expect HD voice, VOLTE or Wi-Fi calling to work.
It will absolutely have Wi-Fi calling and VoLTE. I've had several unlocked phones with them and they all offer both options. T-Mobile is very open to outside devices.

thanks for the link; i figured out the codes shortly after posting my message.
Rather than turning off band that provider might actually use in some situations, try turning off band that you possibly won't use, like band 39, or whatever.
See if that fixes preference to band 4, while still maintaining band 12 for odd situation.
I'm only saying this, because in Canada for provider freedom, band 66 is the fastest, and international phones actually prefer to connect to band 4 which is the slowest for this particular provider. Since we don't have access to modem settings since oreo, I found that disabling any of the unused bands (30,46,39 whatever), brings back proper behaviour like Canadian model counterparts, choosing band 66 majority of times, while still maintaining band 4 for building penetration.
Just try, give a few minutes, check on *#0011#, see if you're still defaulting to 12, or something else with more throughput, might work, might not.

All night mode pic are sharp.
100X Zoom looks good compare with my Canon 5DM3 400MM with digital crop.
CAmera AI is kinda AI
Samsung UI not laggy like any previous version of Galaxies.
Phone is kinda heavy.
The system partition uses less space compare to S10+ 512GB.
Speakers are loud.
Audio paired with Sennheiser Momentum 2 sounds great.
Samsung DeX is smoother compare with S10+.
8K video is acceptable.
Fingerprint unlock is fast. Accuracy 1/50 failed unlock.
Thats it for now folks.

Shouldn't it be SM-G9980 DS? Not SM-G9880 DS.

Thank corrected.
Thinking of ordering this over Australian G998B Exynos. Does anyone know of any issues using the G9980 compared to G998B in Aus. Also is "4G" or "LTE" symbol displayed on this version? Thanks
Using mine in Switzerland, works just fine, haven't tested 5g yet, there isn't where I live
my experience with night photo - very noisy, iphone 11 pro max beaten it in every aspect,
auto switching between cameras is funny - You increase zoom, as soon as it gets to the next lens the quality degrades then as You cross "logical border" the quality returns back to normal (or expected one), so the steps are very discrete comparing to smooth switch on iOS

Do you have sd888 Hong Kong version? Any problems with ar emoji studio or ecg or bp?
I can’t get them in ireland. Not available in my location but exynos version works fine and have that option.
Thank you
Anyone using this device in the US on TMOB? I lost my VoIP and wifi calling and just wondered if I'm alone

I have this device running WIFI calling on a Tracfone MVNO over T-mobile's network in Sim2 - I've not been able to get wifi calling to work with Xfinity Wireless in sim1 but that's because they know my phone isn't the device that I'm supposed to have on my account and they can't (or won't) update because they think it's not supported on their network... Have you reset the network settings recently? Entered the band selector and made sure you've got the proper situation going for your scenario? *#*#4636#*#* I'm working in the NV memory fixing the config files to enable the US 5g bands at the moment. Haven't notice any issues with the latest update.
Without ignoring the top line specs this device is not much of a value. It's selling well mainly due to Samsung's huge trade-in offers but for half It's price one can aquire Samsung's A72 with a Snapdragon SoC, Dual SIM's, 8GB RAM, 256GB Internal and up to 1TB External Memory, 6.7 Inch Display, 3.5 mm Jack, 5000 mAh Battery and 120Hz Refresh Rate for under $470 USD.
